Pursuant to clause 10.05 and 10.06 of the amended Securities Commission ("SC")'s Guidelines on Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT Guidelines"), effective 21 August 2008, the Revaluation must be conducted by an independent valuer duly appointed by the trustee who will ensure that the valuer meets the criteria stipulated under the SC's Guidelines on Asset Valuation.
